Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 391 He's Cutting Off Our Escape Route
Zhou Qing endured the stinging pain in his eyes and stared intently at the pure white plasma fireball, which was about ten feet in diameter.

But the fireball was like a mouth in the void; wherever it touched, it seemed to bite out of thin air and vanish without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, the fireball expanded rapidly, and a milky white shockwave swept out, tearing all the trees and rocks within a radius of seven or eight zhang to shreds.

Further away, the shockwave gradually weakened, but the terrifying heat was still unbearable; within thirty feet, all the trees burst into flames.

Further away, the shockwave continued to weaken, turning into a gale that tore and swirled everything on the ground until the situation gradually improved a hundred feet away.

Zhou Qing stopped within a hundred feet, letting the gale rage around him.

The nuclear explosion stopped quickly.

Zhou Qing went forward to inspect it and was very satisfied with the damage it had caused.

The only drawback of this nuclear bomb is its small yield; it is probably much less powerful than the smallest tactical nuclear bomb in my previous life.

After all, the reaction was triggered by water molecules the size of a fingernail, so its power was ultimately limited.

Under normal circumstances, this amount of material probably wouldn't even be enough to produce a nuclear reaction. It's only because he now possesses strong nuclear power that he can create such a miracle.

To increase the power of this move, he needs to add more protons to the reaction.

Unfortunately, his current range of strong nuclear force is still too small, and this move consumes too much energy. Just separating the protons from water molecules the size of a fingernail consumes the spiritual energy of more than fifty dantians. Later, using strong nuclear force to compress the protons and overcome their repulsion consumes dozens more dantians.

If this move were used in battle, it would consume too much energy and its power would not be increased.

Zhou Qing's heart stirred, and he thought to himself that the main consumption of this move occurred during the stripping of protons.

Why didn't he extract and store the protons in advance so that he could use them at will when needed, thus saving him resources during the war?

The urgent problem to be solved now is the storage of protons. In a natural environment, charged protons will quickly combine with free electrons.

To store these protons, he needs an absolute vacuum environment.

After thinking it over, Zhou Qing decided to hand over this task to Yuan Hongying to find a solution.

This girl's skill in array formations is already quite high, and she has also developed the ability to research specific problems. Entrusting the task to her should not be a problem.

Zhou Qing contacted Yuan Hongying via long-distance communication and conveyed his needs to her.

Yuan Hongying finished the product in just one month and personally brought it to the Dharma center.

Zhou Qing played with the palm-sized porcelain bottle that Yuan Hongying had given him.

There are many reinforcing runes on the porcelain bottle to ensure that it will not be easily damaged. Some of the runes are similar to those on a storage pocket, indicating that she has built storage space inside the porcelain bottle.

Zhou Qing sensed the situation inside and found that it was a figure-eight-shaped loop space where the protons he had stripped could run, and he could easily capture them when he needed to use them.

"Senior brother, does this thing suit your taste?"

Yuan Hongying asked.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It has far exceeded that. Thank you for your help, Junior Sister."

Yuan Hongying laughed and said, "What's so special about this?"

Zhou Qing stayed with Yuan Hongying at the Hongfa Dojo for a few days before parting ways. Yuan Hongying returned to the Qingyun Sect to continue her research, while Zhou Qing went into seclusion to cultivate and accumulate progeny.

His cultivation mainly consisted of two parts: first, opening up the dantian (lower abdomen); and second, separating protons and storing them in a small porcelain bottle.

While he was in seclusion, the Dharma Propagation Center finally refined the Gold-Melting Pill, obtaining a total of 1,250 pills.

The elixir was of high quality; although it couldn't be considered top-grade, it was still a rare and excellent product.

Upon learning this, Bai Mei was overjoyed. He immediately summoned all the cultivators in the Western Continent who were qualified to break through to the Nascent Soul stage to the Dharma Propagation Dojo. He distributed three Melting Gold Pills to each of them and left them at the Dojo to break through, with the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Dojo personally protecting them.

Of these Golden Core cultivators qualified for breakthrough, thirteen were from the Hongfa Daoist Temple, and twelve were from other sects and the Divine Dynasty. Many of them were acquaintances of Zhou Qing. For example, Xu Jingfeng from the Qingyun Sect had reached a breakthrough level after so many years, and Huanglong Zhenren from the Divine Dynasty was naturally among them.

Mu Zhuosha's cultivation has recently increased significantly, and she originally wanted to take this opportunity to try to break through and join in the fun. However, Saintess Xianglian was worried that her realm was unstable and earnestly advised her to accumulate more time to at least suppress her restlessness.

So, six months after Zhou Qing went into seclusion, twenty-five Golden Core cultivators collectively broke through at the Dharma Propagation Center.

Such a large-scale breakthrough has never happened in the entire Qionghua Continent since the Demon Subjugation Rebellion.

The spiritual energy fluctuations caused by the breakthrough soared into the sky, and a purple aura could be seen lingering above the Dharma propagation site from tens of thousands of miles away.

……

Qingxu Taoist Palace.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators simultaneously awoke from their meditation, their brows furrowed as they looked westward.

"What a loud noise."

"That's what Ancestor Ziyun said."

Lu Mingzhao said, "Let's go out and take a look."

When the three left the Three Ancestors Hall on the Flying Stone, they discovered that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the other three Great Dao Palaces had also sensed the movement and emerged.

After the nine Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged greetings, Lu Mingzhao asked, "Greatly Wise Arhat, do you know what this commotion is all about?"

The Great Arhat said, "Senior Lu has already made up his mind, why ask me?"

Lu Mingzhao said solemnly, "I have my own opinion, but I just can't believe it. I need to go and check it out myself."

The Arhat Mahavira said, "Why don't we go together?"

"good."

Lu Mingzhao said.

So the nine of them mounted their swords and sped off toward the Two Realms Mountain.

In just half a day, they arrived at Liangjie Mountain.

Across from Liangjie Mountain was Zhou Qing's territory. Although the nine people harbored resentment towards Zhou Qing, they could not disrespect his authority in the Western Continent.

They stopped on this side of Liangjie Mountain and looked towards the direction of the Dharma propagation site.

This place is still tens of thousands of miles away from the Dharma propagation center, but for these Nascent Soul stage experts, this distance is enough for them to see the situation clearly.

They saw a purple aura enveloping the Dharma teaching site, with golden light flashing within it from time to time. This was a sign that the golden elixir was melting and forming the nascent soul.

"ah!"

Moonlight Fairy said sweetly, "Someone over there is breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Zi Yun said solemnly, "Judging from the scale of that purple aura, it would probably require dozens of people to break through simultaneously to achieve this. Now that the Qionghua Continent's Golden Melting Pill has been lost, and the new Golden Melting Pill doesn't have this effect, how could such a thing happen..."

As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer.

Looking back at my colleagues, I noticed that they also looked very serious, and I immediately realized that they had thought of the same possibility as me.

Half-Buddha clasped his hands and said, “Excellent. Benefactor Zhou still has the Melting Gold Pill in his hand... or perhaps it is not only the Melting Gold Pill, but also the root of those spiritual herbs.”

Lu Mingzhao's eyes flashed, and he said, "He eradicated our spiritual medicine, but he still kept it for himself."

"He is not cutting off the path to Nascent Soul in the entire Qionghua Continent; he is just cutting off our escape route."
